I'm back!

I've been on holiday to Turkey and got back in the early hours of Wednesday morning.  I didn' t want to advertise the fact I was away on here though.  Strangely I was able to get online first time I tried yesterday and my McAfee scan started running automatically - it picked up 2 Trojans!!  If you saw my last post you'll see that the real time scanning kept getting turned off before I went away but it was ok when I got back.  I'm glad the McAfee software worked as I did manage to find out the name of the Trojan I had some months ago and was able to download a program that got rid of it, but I can't remember now how I did it - anyone any ideas in case I get any more.  Also when I was having probs last time I did find out from a McAfee technician how to input 'Chkdsk' in DOS and I can't remember that either; again anyone any ideas?

Hi Anne! I thought you were on holidays - but you should know you were missed!!! I hope you had a faboulous time! Can't help you much with the tech stuff except that I think that if you have an antivirus programme on your computer it should get rid of the Trojan automaticly!
Hugs,

I'm SO glad you are back. You were missed. I hope you will share some of your Turkey photos now that the computer is right with the world. I'm so glad your computer is running OK. That's always good news. Mine has been acting weird and I've had to shut down at least twice this morning alone. Hard to get anything done that way.

Anyway, so glad you are back with us, and I remember Chkdsk from years ago, just not the command anymore, now that DOS is but a bleep in my memory system.

chkdsk = check disk = check the hard drive integrity


click start - choose 'run' if you type cmd it opent he dos window - at the prompt type chkdsk - although most PCs run these tasls routinely now -

try this: mouse click select in sequence:

start>programs>accessories>system tools>system restore (restart)

if this is a foriegn language drop me a mail & I'll screenshot it for you

it may take hours to run the restore but that should reboot you withthe registry intact - if yoru registry if fnerked you are in trouble....

and then get a MAC (they don't have these problems)
